UDOM Vice- Chancellor, Prof Idrisa Kikula
IN a bid to provide future teachers with wide experience, the University of Dodoma (UDOM) plans to put up a demonstration school at its campus for its students who are undertaking education studies.
This was disclosed here yesterday by
UDOM Vice- Chancellor, Prof Idrisa Kikula, who said the university will
set up its first demonstration school as part of a project funded by the
Canadian government to promote mathematics in secondary schools.
He was speaking during a ceremony to
wind up a project carried out jointly by Canada and Tanzania to provide
teachers with fresh skills to teach mathematics and science subjects.
Prof Kikula expressed gratitude to
Canada for financing the project with the goal to seek friendly methods
of teaching mathematics, pointing out that the project dubbed Hisabati
ni Maisha (Mathematics is Life) has brought positive changes to
students.
“We appeal to Canada to consider
extending the project to reach more students in the country,” said the
don. He added that the Canada funded project, is aimed at cultivating
the habit of loving mathematics in students at primary and secondary
levels and that teachers in the project had an opportunity to engage
community members in promoting mathematics.
According to the project team leader,
Prof Joyce Mgombello, mathematics teachers received fresh teaching
skills in a project which helps to encourage students to study and love
the subject.
“Teachers received fresh maths teaching
skills aimed at encouraging students to cultivate the habit of loving
the subject,” said Prof Mgombello from Brock University in Canada which
was partnering UDOM in the project.
She urged mathematics teachers who
benefited from the project to share experience gained from the project
with their colleagues to promote the subject in the country, pointing
